The Russian talent had been a free agent ever since his departure from Virtus.Pro, which happened in mid-December and was caused by his will to focus more on some personal issues.

After this two-month break, Bogdanov scoured the market for a new team and that was when the offer from Begrip Gaming came. According to him, the possibility of playing alongside players of such calibre was behind this move.

"I had enough time to rest after I left virtus, so Ihave been looking for a good team to play for (...)I played with all the guys before and I think we will do great things soon," Bogdanov told GotFrag.com.

The recruitment of Bogdanov came as a consequence of the removal of Alexander "xek" Zobkov from the team. His attitude toward his team mates and Begrip Gaming caused internal conflicts which are expected to be solved now with this decision.

"Xek is a very good player but his attitude is not always the best, which caused internal problems both within the team and toward the organisation. We know hooch for a long time and he also played for us before he joined Virtus and after playing with him it felt like a right choice," said Vasili "individ" Richardsson, owner of Begrip Gaming.

Begrip will continue their presence in the NPCL league, where the Russian team is currently third, only below forZe and Virtus.Pro. No international events haven't been planned yet.

Begrip Gaming have now the following roster:

Denis "Dingo" Kolomensky
Dmitrii "ex" Pestin
Aleksey "Flatra" Zlobich
Ivan "Xenitron" Totsky
Dmitry "hooch" Bogdanov
